Sports,

Strategy Games,

Simulation/Building games,

Rhythmn games,

Puzzle Games,

Point and Click Adventures,

Fighting games,

MMORPG's

Well?

I only play FPS,TPS,Selected RPG/Racing thats it.

Can’t really think of any off the top of my head. There’s certainly some genres that generally don’t interest me much on the whole but there have been at least one game in them that I have enjoyed.

RPG games as they are boring and having worst gameplay from any other genre.

otherwise I enjoy any game regardless of genre.

Souls like games and jrpg just can't get down with them.

You really to provide reasons for your choices instead of providing a list. I am seeing this in the threads you created.

Indie is not a genre.

Rhythmn, point and click, and strategy.

I have been trying to get in to the porn game genre, but I can't figure out how to get started.

Those Persona games seem to be peedophile games with RPG mechanics. Dating school kids.

Ah but! You are role-playing as a school kid! Acktshually!

Play bad ass games like Ghost, not this crap.

Sports, I can play them with friends, but I tried to play them by myself, and just nope.

jrpg like old school final fantasy.

I hated watching the game fight for me.

strategy games as well. never god into them.

fps unless in vr. always like third person more.

and sports games unless old fight night games.

@indy_2024:

Building games

Battle Royale

fighting games, or most games where the combat relies heavily on memorizing longer/elaborate button combos

FPS

Open world

Simulation

Strategy

WRPG

Real-time strategy. It's not my cup of tea. I do enjoy turn-based strategy, though -- like Fire Emblem.

Flight simulators - too much of a learning curve for too little payoff

Sports games - no interest in the subject, boring

JRPGs - dislike most of the characters, battle systems, art style, random encounters, not enough choice in most cases

Rhythmn games - no interest in the subject, boring

Racing games - no interest in the subject, boring

Point and Click Adventures - boring, not enough going on for me

Fighting Games - no interest in the subject, boring

MMO - eventually the fun wears out and it becomes work/grind

I can't think of any genre I can't enjoy, but the last couple boomer shooters I tried to play gave me motion sickness. May be getting too old for them 😕

I dont like indies. To be specific I dont like the concept of it. I avoid indies whenever possible and only play them once I am convinced enough by word of mouth and probably a demo.

Rhythm games and management sims like football manager

I'm not into fighting games. Just never clicked with me. I've played a decent bit of them with friends. Not into racing sim games either, but I expect I could be in VR with a decent wheel/shifter/pedals.

Then take my mouth words and try:

• Factorio
• Valheim
• Turbo Overkill
• Hollow Knight
• Blasphemous
• Outer Wilds
• Dread Delusion
• RimWorld
• Slay the Spire
• A Hat in Time

MMO’s. Doing virtual chores online isn’t fun.

RPG's or Really Poor Games

man im so clever!!!1

RTS

Madden football or Fifa

Tactical RPGs

Sports games like Madden

RTS

• JRPG's
• Sports games
• RTS
• "Movie" games, or whatever you want to call Last of Us, Uncharted, etc.

I used to like those games but honestly I find them very very boring which is ultimately why I don't like the genres anymore.

I want to like RTS games but they're often just kind of lazily done these days and not stimulating enough. Not that they're bad or unbalanced, I just miss the sort of epic campaigns and story of Starcraft and Command and Conquer and so on and so forth.

Indeed. Great suggestions.

I don't get how you "can't like indies". I think maybe you're just being anti-hipster? Like maybe you got the wrong impression of what an independent game is? I don't know, seems silly though to hate on a game just because it is independently published or made with a smaller budget.

They're just games like any other. Except, in many ways, much much much better because they're not made with a bloated budget and excessive marketing. They are, for lack of a better term, games made by gamers, for gamers.

You don't like the concept of indie games? What does that mean?

Why are some people saying indie games?

Indie is not a genre, the word indie indicates the budget/amount of people working on the games.

You can really tell who the younguns are in this thread.

Battle Royale, free to play bullshit games, hero shooters, most Sony games, MOBAs..

You know. The epicly crap games.

Then there's some good shit I don't want to play, like most strategy games.

I like strategy games like commandos or desperados. they are very rare.

the RTS or turn based games where you make building and create unit? play few but not get into genre.

Commandos is different. more of stealth strategy where you control 6 random soldiers and being stealthy.

I guess RTS. I liked Age of Empires back in the day. My issue always was though that a scenario takes so much time that I really don’t want to lose. Because I don’t want to lose I put the difficulty too low, which makes it boring after a while. I was never able to handle this dilemma so I gave up on the genre 🤷🏻‍♂️

Another that springs to mind is battle royals really can't get into them. Hates the fact that every game had to incorporate them in their games.

Jrpg, indie, first person shooter, rts, racing, simulators. Off the top of my head.

Seriously? :P

This is a tangential answer to the thread, but I've noticed games without scoring systems, or adventure games that do not clearly demarcate "levels" in their level design also tend to have bad game design.

Western games usually suffer from these issues. Also legacy series that remove scoring aspects are usually watering down their core mechanics. I'm now staying away from a lot of these games.

I dont care I hate them. Soonest devs call themselves indies I get the fu out soonest possible.

Then you are genuinely an idiot.😂

Kind of hard to find a genre I hate ,when a palpable deal of the games I find in those are good ... don't mind jumping into something different

RPG genre. I’m really sad about it. Nothing I do can get me into that genre.

Ya pretty much.

A: "Wow, this ice cream is delicious!"
B: "Oh, that's wonderful, I'm glad you like it. It's non-dairy, too!"
A: "Oh **** that, this ice cream is terrible"
B: "But...you just said you thought it was delicious"
A: "Yeah but I don't like non-dairy"

Idiot behavior.

Idiot or whatever, I avoid them indies like a plague.

Genuinely curious what your reasons are.

Won't give you a hard time about it.

Lol. Noted.

Nothing stopping you from making irrational posts, I guess. 😅

Calling someone an idiot because they don't like particular games is what we're doing now.

MOBAs and RTS have never done it for me.. there might come a time that I find one I like, but at this time and from those that I've played I've never found one I overly enjoyed.

Let's not front, it's a pretty stupid complaint.

Sports games and Jump 'n Run.

I think “indie” is a bit vague. My thing with it, is that there’s so many, finding the ones you’re into is not always easy.

For me it’s RPGs. I’ve tried, but there’s only a handful I’ve gotten into. I played Pokémon way back in the day, and I liked Vampire The Masquerade. I played quite a lot of Final Fantasy The 4 Heroes of Light.

I think there’s RPG elements in Robocop. But it’s a bit weird, the upgrades only making minor improvements same with the circuit thing on the gun. I wanted to play Terminator but I read it’s an arpg and nick nacks you collect to make things out of is a little weird to me.

I still want to get into RPGs though, just not really attracted to JRPGs.
